El Scumbaggio |
It happened on the F train in Brooklyn's Coney Island Stillwell Avenue station, on a train this writer has taken thousands of times.
Sebastion Zapeta, 33, an illegal alien from Guatemala, allegedly [he is seen on video] lit a sleeping woman on fire, fanned the flames with his coat, and watched as she burned to death. He pleaded not guilty to murder and arson charges Tuesday.
The illegal alien was indicted on one count of first-degree murder, three counts of second-degree murder, and arson. Prosecutors said that he fanned the flames before sitting down to watch her burn as police and a subway worker tried to put out the fire.
According to court documents, Zapeta later told detectives he was in a drunken blackout during the attack. It's as if alcohol kills people just like guns do, and forks make people fat.

"I am very sorry. I didn't mean to. But I really don't know, I don't know what happened, but I'm very sorry for that woman," he allegedly told detectives, according to a transcript from his interrogation translated from Spanish to English.
How did he not mean to burn her alive? He even fanned the damn flames.
Zapeta listened through an interpreter but remained silent during the 4-minute hearing. His lawyer, at the end, said his client needed medical attention, but additional details were not immediately available. It's possible that he got burned standing too close to his victim while fanning the flames. Poor guy.
The judge ordered him held without bail.
Zapeta entered the U.S. illegally in 2018 and was deported. Like so many Democratic hopeful voters, he returned to the U.S. at an unknown time and slithered to New York City. On December 22, he allegedly lit the sleeping Debrina Kawam, 57, on fire. She was from Toms River, New Jersey.
She was so badly burned it took over a week to identify her remains.
Zapeta told detectives he was drunk at the time of the slaying and often blacked out between his home and the subway platform or vice versa, trying to use that as an excuse for his actions.

"Sometimes, when I drink and erase the memory, and I don't known right?" he said, according to the transcript. "When I wake up, I'm already in the house, already sleeping. I wake up when I'm already at home. Or there are times when I wake up, and I'm already at the train station…or on the train…"
He's using the "Wolfman Excuse" it seems, but it doesn't excuse what he did.
You can read the transcript of Zapeta's interview with detectives:
Mayor Eric Adams (D) said surveillance video of the attack was so twisted he couldn't finish watching it.
According to the transcript, detectives played the clip for Zapeta and he claimed that he didn't remember any of it. He did, however, allegedly admit it showed him on the screen.
It seems like the guy's cognition to use a cigarette lighter to immolate the poor lady, and then fan the flames to ensure it would engulf her, demonstrates that he was sentient enough to know what he was doing and his blackout story is garbage, in my opinion.
"As the train pulled into the station, the suspect calmly walked up to the victim," New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters at a news briefing. "The suspect used what we believe to be a lighter to ignite the victim’s clothing, which became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds."
Then the man walked out of the car to a nearby waiting bench, sat down, and watched as help arrived, albeit too late.

Responding officers were already in the station, and a transit worker grabbed a fire extinguisher. The suspect even appeared on body-cam video, Tisch said.
The suspect was arrested after three teenagers riding another subway train recognized him from a wanted poster and called 911. He was taken into custody at the next stop.
Zapeta faces a maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole if convicted. Too bad for him that by the time his court date rolls around, Biden will be out of office and will not be able to pardon him. Maybe Biden can do it preemptively.
The suspect is due back in court on March 12.
